app store

Well, it's official. Apple has now announced it's bringing the App
Store concept to the Mac and it looks like they'll be restricting apps with
FairPlay DRM too for good measure. When we first began talking about
the problems with the App Store on the iPhone and iPod Touch, people
wanted us to drop it and stop talking about the DRM tricks being
pulled by Apple on the grounds that the iPhone wasn't a general
purpose computer (it is, and the iPad is too) but rather an appliance.
